From BBC News:
The narrow road outside Beijing’s No 55 Middle School is usually crowded just before morning lessons, but this week it was busier than usual.
Traffic wardens blocked off the road to normal vehicles; a police car and an ambulance were on standby. It was exam day.
More than 10 million students from across the country are taking the university entrance exams, being held over three days.
It is the biggest exam process in the world, taking place at more than 8,000 test centres.
